Idris Elba's Glastonbury message: It's crucial knife crime is tackled by next government

Find the page like their post? There might be a young person down the street. The politics around knife crime are so crucial to anyone that ends up in office. It's important that whatever happens, something is done about knife crime. I believe that Kira and I've had very deep conversations about his plans to try and tackle it. He's read and listens to what I've got to offer in terms of the manifesto I wrote about how we try this and he's been very responsive. So I can only hope right now that everyone is paying attention and that we're going to move forward and fix it. I think, look, you know, Glastonbury has this, you know, really incredible history of important moments as an artist. I came here, I worked to DJ and I also got to speak to people who are really keen to listen about something. And that's why, you know, Glastonbury was the perfect place to have a have, you know, say, say what we said.
